It’s My Birthday. This is MY 59!

Today I turned 59!!!! Holy crap! Now I am 1 year away from 60! Where did the time go?

We took some pics over the weekend because hubby can’t do it during the week. There are a few more below before my “rant”. I will probably fix them up eventually but all these are NO FILTER AND NOT FIXED UP AT ALL. I DID NOTHING TO THEM! This is alsoAFTER 2 days rest days – NO WORKOUTS TO PUMP ME UP – THIS IS JUST ME POSING WITH 2 DAYS REST.This is me with older age knees & other stuff. Honestly 58 has been the toughest year yet in terms of keeping the bod the way I wanted too but not in terms of the hormone change symptoms! 🙂 I work out very hard & eat well but it is what it is & proud of what I have accomplished over time even if magazines & Oprah & Ellen & others are not interested in my very hard core life lessons learned story!

The below was my last year post. I wore the same outfit for fun! 🙂 Better lighting last year!

Last year too!

If you really want to have some fun,check out the year before when I posted a billion pictures over the years!!!! Hormones & age have changed that in the past few years! 🙂

So since it is my birthday, I can rant if I want to & those not liking it can move on. 🙂 It is about the election.

WORDS MATTER AND WORDS HAVE CONSEQUENCES Mr. Trump! We already have hate crimes happening in the schools. White Power & racial slurs being thrown at kids. Children telling other children to get out of the country. Mr. Trump, you ran on this! Whether you continue this way is not what matters right now. YOU BROUGHT THE HATRED ON. YOUR WORDS HAVE CONSEQUENCES & THOSE CONSEQUENCES ARE REVERBERATING ALREADY!!

I am horrified than a man who ran on racism, bigotry, hatred, bullying, the putting down of women as well as accused of sexual assault, surrounds himself with the farthest right faction of the Republican party & then brings on Steve Bannon that is by far the most outrageous, bigoted, women hating man there is to be one of your top advisors – well…. Google his name & see what you find. It is NOT pretty to say in the nicest terms.

Mr. Trump, all genders, all races, all religions, all that do not believe in God, all sexes, all people no matter what their gender identification, all LGBT people have the same rights in this country! What you did with your words is despicable & now you put people by your side that have written the most discriminatory & horrible things possible out there. A man who is backed by the KKK and others like that.

NOW I KNOW EVERYONE IS SAYING GIVE HIM A CHANCE. HERE’S THE PROBLEM – HIS WORDS HAVE ALREADY CREATED CONSEQUENCES. HE CAN’T TAKE THAT BACK. HATE CRIMES ARE ALREADY ON THE RISE. MICHELLE OBAMA’S PICTURE PUT UP BY A COUPLE WOMEN IN OFFICE WITH HATEFUL HORRIBLE WORDS TO IT. KIDS BEING BULLIED & WORSE! it is already out there due to all the hateful things he said & did campaigning that can’t be taken back…. THAT IS THE ISSUE AS WELL AS HIM SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH IDEALOGS!!!

Words indeed have consequences, the likes of which we are now seeing spring up all over the nation. Our future currently lies in the hands of a racist, sexist, larger-than-life misogynist individual who appears to think running a country isn’t all that different from producing a reality show. I fear for what’s to come but pray for the best of outcomes.

On a much happier note, though, I hope you have a lovely birthday 🙂 xoxo

You are so right, words do have consequences. And I don’t think it’s possible to say those words if you don’t mean them… It also reminds me of the saying: Believe someone the first time they show you who they are.

On a happier note, Happy, happy Birthday! You look amazing. As you know, you’ve been my inspiration for many, many years. It’s so frustrating that the mainstream media won’t take note of how AMAZING you are!!!

I’m not at all where I want to be fitness-wise at the moment (still battling the injured elbow and got myself in a funk a few months ago that’s hard to get out of), but I’m getting back to a “real” program and wrote out my workouts for the week. I realize that if nothing else, I need to work out ever day to keep whatever is left of my sanity…

HUGE HUGS Andrea!!!!! I know funk too well!!!! 🙂 My workouts help me work off this crazy stress of the election but to think 4 years of this & who he surrounds himself with!!! He had no idea how much you needed to know & it is obvious! Very scary! This is not a reality show!

Your 59 looks better than my 34.
Because you work darn hard for it and I know you do!
I hope to be as in shape as you some day, but that means I need to work hard like you do. (And not eat so much junk.)

Belated Happy Birthday my inspirational friend!!!! Sending a giant hug your way!!!!
I’m so sad for your political mess….the frustration is certainly being felt by many of us up in Canada, and our hearts hurt for friends who may be impacted by his actions, and who have been hurt by his words.

You’re the most amazing 59 year old on the face of the planet! I adore the crap out of you, and I say… Sometime in December before the 15th, you and I get together for lunch again… Sound good? FB message me or text me or whatever is best for you and we can work something out 😀

Happy Birthday, first of all 🙂 Incredible! You look fantastic and so energizing. Easily putting a blush to any 20-, 30-year olds. I will never have the same physical options as you, but I’m looking up to you as an inspiration to achieve any 10%.
